Before Bob Marley was the legend and international musical sensation that he is today, he was a star in his homeland of Jamaica. »Climb the Ladder« provides the listener with a picture of Bob Marley before the international acclaim and superstardom, when he and the Wailers were a Jamaican band just starting out in the music business. What is apparent from these rare recordings is the talent and emotion that would eventually take the young group to the top of first the Jamacian charts, and then the rest of the world's charts as well. This glimpse of Bob Marley in his early years is an oppurtunity that a fan of Reggae must not be without.
